Systems and methods of managing employee teams

Abstract

A mobile computing device and method of displaying an organizational structure on the mobile computing device is disclosed. In one example, the method comprises displaying, on an interface of the mobile computing device, representations of employees in a first level of an organizational structure, displaying on the interface representations of employees in a second level of the organizational structure below the representations of employees associated with the first level of organizational structure, wherein the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure are displayed proportionally smaller than the to representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mobile computing device comprising:
 a memory;   a display; and   at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display; and   an interface executed by the at least one processor and configured to:
 display representations of employees in a first level of an organizational structure; and 
 display representations of employees in a second level of the organizational structure below the representations of employees associated with the first level of organizational structure, wherein the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure are displayed proportionally smaller than the representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second level of the organizational structure is hierarchically lower than the first level of the organizational structure. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the interface is further configured to display the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure indented in relation to the representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interface is further configured to receive a collapsing selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the interface is further configured to remove, in response to the collapsing selection, at least one representation of the representations of employees displayed below the at least one selected representation. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interface is further configured to receive an expanding selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the interface is further configured to add, in response to the expanding selection, at least one representation of the representations of employees below the at least one selected representation. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interface is further configured to receive a detail selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the interface is further configured to display, in response to the detail selection, profile information associated with the least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         10 . A method of displaying an organizational structure on a mobile computing device, the method comprising:
 displaying, on an interface of the mobile computing device, representations of employees in a first level of an organizational structure; and   displaying, on the interface, representations of employees in a second level of the organizational structure below the representations of employees associated with the first level of organizational structure, wherein the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure are displayed proportionally smaller than the representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein displaying, on the interface, representations of employees in the second level includes displaying the second level of the organizational structure as hierarchically lower than the first level of the organizational structure. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising displaying the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure indented in relation to the representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising receiving, via the interface, a collapsing selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising removing, in response to the collapsing selection, at least one representation of the representations of employees displayed below the at least one selected representation. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising receiving, via the interface, an expanding to selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising adding, in response to the expanding selection, at least one representation of the representations of employees below the at least one selected representation. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving a detail selection corresponding to at least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising displaying, in response to the detail selection, profile information associated with the least one selected representation of the representations of employees. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein displaying, on the interface, representations of employees includes displaying at least one of position information associated with an employee and a visual representation associated with the employee. 
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for displaying an organizational structure on a mobile computing device, the computer executable instructions including instructions that instruct at least one processor to:
 display representations of employees in a first level of an organizational structure; and   display representations of employees in a second level of the organizational structure below the representations of employees associated with the first level of organizational structure, wherein the representations of employees associated with the second level of the organizational structure are displayed proportionally smaller than the representations of employees in the first level of the organizational structure.
